We packed up and instead of continuing on the Alaskan Highway to Tok, Alaska, we took the Klondike Hwy to Dawson City, Yukon. We stopped and took pictures at Twin Lakes and heard a Loon. We took pictures of the Five Fingers Rapids. These rapids were very hard for the sternwheelers to get through. They had to winch themselves through the rocks to keep from bashing. We stopped at Tintina Trench, the biggest fault in North America. A good portion of the road ran beside the Klondike River. We made it to Dawson City and stopped at the information center, then proceeded to our Yukon River Government Campground site which was only accessible by riding the George Black Ferry across the Yukon River. This is a free ferry that runs 24 hours a day. Our campsites are right on the bank of the Yukon River. I talked to mom today and she said she is still weak. She ate a little. Allen was there today.
